Henderson Swamp - The Slackers

If I could just keep my head up
Like the trees down on henderson swamp
And make another day that'll be ok
And I won't just die another chump
Well my head's been wed with envy
My feet's been tied with sin
The sweet smell of death is upon my breath
For every stroke I swim
My history forgets me
Notify my next of kin
'Cause I fear it true that you'd head hey too with new
All the trouble I was in
If I could just keep my head up
Like the trees down on henderson swamp
And make another day that'll be ok
And I won't just die another chump
Well my pennies have all left my pockets
Down by where my guitar sleeps
Along with the ladies that I've left behind
Who now line the old back streets
Ahn
Well my cap they call confusion
And the water come a rushing on in
I look to heaven and ask in fear
Please lord tell me how did I get here
He said young man you had to be angry
Oh young man you had to be free
Yup sounds correct and I hope that you're happy
Sinking on deep into the sea
If I could just keep my head up
If I could just keep my head up
Oh if I could just keep my head up
Like the trees down on henderson swamp
